Scenario

When teams struggle to balance different life circumstances fairly

Our small tech team talks a lot about work-life balance but three of us are single and childless while two have families, and it's becoming obvious that we have totally different needs and capacity, but no one wants to acknowledge it directly because it feels unfair either way. The single people end up covering more evening work and the parents leave early, and everyone's resentful but pretending it's fine.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group committed to equity is discovering that treating everyone the same doesn't account for people's different life realities, but acknowledging those differences feels like creating unfair hierarchies.
